Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth yeere of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the tenth moneth, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and they besieged it.
Mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, mweri-inĩ wa ikũmi, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩathiire gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu arĩ na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, akĩrĩrigiicĩria arĩtunyane.
2 And in the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the citie was broken vp.
Ningĩ mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa ĩna wa mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa wathani wa Zedekia, nĩguo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rwatũrĩkirio.
3 And all the princes of the King of Babel came in, and sate in the middle gate, euen Neregal, Sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Neregal, Sharezer, Rab-mag with all the residue of the princes of the King of Babel.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni magĩtoonya na magĩikara Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Gatagatĩ: Nao nĩ Nerigali-Sharezeru wa Samugari, na Nebo-Sarisekimu mũtongoria ũmwe mũnene, na Nerigali-Sharezeru ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wathani-inĩ, marĩ hamwe na anene arĩa angĩ othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
4 And when Zedekiah the King of Iudah saw them, and all the men of warre, then they fled, and went out of the citie by night, through the Kings garden, and by the gate betweene the two walles, and he went toward the wildernes.
Rĩrĩa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda na thigari ciothe maamonire, makĩũra; makiuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene ũtukũ magerete njĩra ya mũgũnda-inĩ wa mũthamaki, kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ, magĩthiĩ merekeire Araba.
5 But the Caldeans hoste pursued after them, and ouertooke Zedekiah in the desart of Iericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.
No nayo mbũtũ ya andũ a Babuloni ĩkĩmatengʼeria, ĩgĩkorerera Zedekia werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũtwarĩra Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni arĩ kũu Ribila bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, na kũu nĩkuo aamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
6 Then the King of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the King of Babel slewe all the nobles of Iudah.
Kũu Ribila nokuo mũthamaki wa Babuloni oragithĩirie ariũ a Zedekia, maitho-inĩ make, na akĩũragithia andũ othe arĩa maarĩ igweta kũu Juda.
7 Moreouer he put out Zedekiahs eyes, and bound him in chaines, to cary him to Babel.
Agĩcooka agĩkũũrithia Zedekia maitho na akĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango nĩguo atwarwo Babuloni.
8 And the Caldeans burnt the Kings house, and the houses of the people with fire, and brake downe the walles of Ierusalem.
Andũ acio a Babuloni magĩcina nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba cia andũ arĩa angĩ, na makĩmomora thingo cia Jerusalemu.
9 Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue into Babel the remnant of the people, that remained in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen vnto him, with the rest of the people that remained.
Nebuzaradani, mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, agĩtaha andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ thĩinĩ, akĩmatwara Babuloni marĩ hamwe na arĩa meneanĩte kũrĩ we o na andũ acio angĩ othe.
10 But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left the poore that had nothing in the land of Iudah, and gaue them vineyards and fieldes at the same time.
No rĩrĩ, Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, nĩatigirie andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni kũu bũrũri wa Juda, arĩa mataarĩ na kĩndũ kĩao; no hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmahe mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda ya kũrĩma.
11 Nowe Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel gaue charge concerning Ieremiah vnto Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde, saying,
Na rĩrĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩarutĩte watho ũkoniĩ Jeremia, akeera Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki atĩrĩ:
12 Take him, and looke well to him, and doe him no harme, but doe vnto him euen as he shall say vnto thee.
“Muoe ũmũmenyerere; ndũkamwĩke ũũru, no ũmũhingagĩrie ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa angĩkũũria.”
13 So Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward sent, and Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Neregal, Sharezar, Rab-mag, and all the King of Babels princes:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri, na Nebushazibani mũtongoria ũmwe mũnene na Nerigali-Sharezeru ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wathani-inĩ, o na anene acio angĩ othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni
14 Euen they sent, and tooke Ieremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, that he should cary him home: so he dwelt among the people.
magĩtũmana, makiuga Jeremia arutwo kũu thĩinĩ wa nja ĩrĩa ya arangĩri. Nao makĩmũneana harĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, nĩguo amũinũkie gwake mũciĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũũrania na andũ arĩa angĩ ao.
15 Now the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, while he was shut vp in the court of the prison, saying,
Rĩrĩa Jeremia aatũũrĩte oheetwo kũu thĩinĩ wa nja ĩrĩa ya arangĩri-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩrĩire akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
16 Go and speake to Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil bring my wordes vpon this citie for euill, and not for good, and they shalbe accomplished in that day before thee.
“Thiĩ ũkeere Ebedi-Meleku ũrĩa Mũkushi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũhingia ũrĩa ndoigire atĩ nĩngarehere itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene mwanangĩko, no ti ũgaacĩru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, maũndũ macio nĩmakahingio ũkĩmeyonagĩra na maitho.
17 But I wil deliuer thee in that day, saith the Lord, and thou shalt not be giuen into the hand of the men whome thou fearest.
No rĩrĩ, wee nĩngakũhonokia mũthenya ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga; wee ndũkaneanwo kũrĩ andũ acio wĩtigĩraga.
18 For I will surely deliuer thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sworde, but thy life shall be for a praye vnto thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayth the Lord.
Niĩ nĩngakũhonokia; wee ndũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora no nĩũkahonokia muoyo waku, tondũ nĩ niĩ ũtũũrĩte wĩhokete, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’”
